Hey guys, I found this nice Brooks Brothers Brooksease blazer size 41 R. I haven't had time to get any measurements for it, but will do tonight. I am looking for sport coats 46L and any long brooks brothers ties. I am 6'7" so I need the long tie.

2) Burberry brown striped suit. 2 button front, no rear vent. This was marked a 46R from the thrft store, so I imagine it fits a little larger than a normal 44. Spoken For

Just picked up a super sweet 40R PRL linen blazer, made in Italy, olive green, partially lined, single center vent, almost no shoulder. I dont think its ever been worn, like new. If it was my size I'd keep it.

Anyone interested? Need to steam it before I take a photo but I want to know before I B & S this pup.

Edit: its a 3/2 roll

Definitely sounds interesting to me. How might I oblige?

I might also be interested depending on the measurements (they run a little big right?)

I wonder if I have anything you might like

It runs a touch big.

I'm a 42 / 44, in the shoulders it almost fits me but definitely not in the waist.

Ok guys, I am doing some house cleaning.
I am listing some items that are exclusive for trade.
First, I am looking for shirts-Isaia, Finamore, Slim Borrelli, Barba, Truzzi or any odd slim Italian make (I really want a Buonamassa). I would be happy to trade any or all below for just one shirt if it is the right shirt. Spread collar only.
I am a 16.25 neck, which is a slim 16.5 or 16 if it is generous.

Here is what I am putting up:
1 Zegna Suit, Italian made-not Swiss. Full canvass Mainline. micro hounds tooth. 2 button, Single vent. Horn buttons. 42R A great basic suit, no flaws.

1 Oxxford sport coat. Gibbons model, newish, a sort of pindot brown with a teal windowpane. Very soft shoulders with double vents. 3 button and working sleeve buttons. I love this, but dont wear it too much. Oh, its half lined, full canvass. Beautiful jacket. 44R

1 Ben Silver DB blue Blazer. Totally hand made, full canvass, hand padded, hand sewn button holes, brass buttons. I would change them out to horn. Double Vents. Soft shoulders, nice shape to the waist, has a ticket pocket too. It is not a marked size. Fits like a slim 42R.

Shirts: 1 Burberry yellow spread collar, 16.5 with really thick MOP buttons and a split yolk. Nice fabric in pristine condition. 1 Faconnable basic blue with white window pane, MOP buttons, split yolk, pristine condition. I will look for more, I am pretty sure I have a bunch more shirts to trade.

again, looking for shirts.

I just swung by the local thrift - and they had a few things which I didn't buy, but can go back for...

42L - J. crew 90/10 wool/cashmere 2 button sportcoat, like a honey brown color, single vent I think
37S - Brooks Brothers suit, 4 button double breasted with single vent
Brooks Brothers plaid flannel shirt
Tom James tie

If there's interest, let me know...

I've got a couple of ebay items that aren't making it in to my normal rotation. Let me know if there's interest. I'd be happy to trade for karma points among the more frequent thrifters (as in you owe me):

Brooks Brothers 2B, blue pinstripe (thick) flannel - 42L, 36X32 pants. Good condition. Found one pinhole in right arm.
Oxxford 2B 42R (but I had sleeves lenghtened to 26"), grey chalkstripe (spaced about 2 inches apart). 36x32 pants [spoken for]
Bill's Khaki's M2 (flat front), 36x32 cuffed [spoken for]

I've worn all once or twice but bought used. Seem to be in good condition.

My obligatory size post( 42R-L (need 26" sleeves, but an only 6' tall so most R work fine), 35x32, 12-13 shoe on the narrow side) Prefer suits, but need a navy blazer.
